A typical endodontic procedure includes access preparation, ischolar_main canal preparation and ischolar_main canal filling. This treatment process is time-consuming and prone to human error. The outcome relies on the clinician's master skills that can be gained only through years of training and practice. In order to improve the quality and reliability of endodontic therapy, an endodontic micro robot is proposed to be built. The objective is to modernize the traditional treatment, moving from a "manual art" to science-based automation. This computer controlled micro machine is mounted on the teeth within patient's mouth. With on-line monitoring and positioning control, the multipurpose micro robot performs automatic treatment procedures, including probing, drilling, filing, cleaning and filling. This article gives an insight to design and applications of the intelligent robotic micro-machine applicable to ischolar_main canal preparation with online monitoring capabilities that will increase the accuracy and efficiency of the treatment.

Abstract


A typical endodontic procedure includes access preparation, ischolar_main canal preparation and ischolar_main canal filling. This treatment process is time-consuming and prone to human error. The outcome relies on the clinician's master skills that can be gained only through years of training and practice. In order to improve the quality and reliability of endodontic therapy, an endodontic micro robot is proposed to be built. The objective is to modernize the traditional treatment, moving from a "manual art" to science-based automation. This computer controlled micro machine is mounted on the teeth within patient's mouth. With on-line monitoring and positioning control, the multipurpose micro robot performs automatic treatment procedures, including probing, drilling, filing, cleaning and filling. This article gives an insight to design and applications of the intelligent robotic micro-machine applicable to ischolar_main canal preparation with online monitoring capabilities that will increase the accuracy and efficiency of the treatment.
